Reimian Empire Auto-translated

Tsukiko and Castor meet with Ayano and Livia.

Nihonka sighed. "We're not alone, which I'm glad about. Have you also been through trials?" "By the way... Are you really real? Not just an illusion?"

At least something good.
Livia was genuinely happy when she saw the familiar face of Nihonki and even the somewhat unpleasant Castor. Now she began to believe that not all was lost.
– Thank goodness, you're alive! What happened, why were we all separated?

Livia was taken aback by such a question. What could her newly appeared companions have encountered that made them think they weren't real. The girl herself sincerely believed that their companions were real. Otherwise, Ayano should have already raised the alarm.
– I understand your doubts about me, but can a real miko really cause doubts?

What happened, why were we all separated?

-- I don't understand magic or palaces. And Castor...
"How can I subtly hint that he's completely useless without offending him?"
-- Anyway, it doesn't matter.

- I understand your doubts about me, but can a true myco really cause doubts?

-- This... Well... -- Tsukiko still had some doubts, but she was actually too happy to take them seriously. -- Let's just move on...

Livia nodded understandingly. She herself would have preferred their leader, Seliad, to be in this strange man's place. "I certainly enjoy standing here in a pleasant environment and not having to deal with incomprehensible demonic forces, but still, what will we do next?"

— Let's go.
(You're heading west, right?)

Yes, down the corridor to the west.

Sky, Alex, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention your guys too. I just don't know them at all yet, I'm still getting used to them and keep forgetting that you're with us too.

– Well, I suggest we go there now, – Shimizu pointed to the north door. – Maybe we can gradually find the rest.

Cedric Hield and Kurat Kariant started inviting other crew members to play Kairos. The rules and gameplay were as follows: - Each player makes a contribution equivalent to 10 silver coins. - Each player receives 5 cards. - Players either increase their bet or opt out of the game. - The remaining players discard any number of cards and receive the same number in return. - Players either increase their bet or opt out of the game. - Players reveal their cards. The player with the strongest combination wins and takes the pot. The player who first wins 5 games will receive either 1 skill point or 10 attribute points. List of players: Cedric Hield Kurat Kariant Jerl Lardis Fiver A. Belling Syros Rind Dealer: Celia

I suggest we have Lochen test Castor using the mask (if it hasn't been done yet). We can join in too. Castor seems suspicious; he probably just doesn't want to carry out someone else's task and might not even want us to do it, perhaps because he's afraid we'll harm the palace. But he might also have set something up for us, or at least helped us in some way.

The player who wins 5 games first will receive either 1 OU (Object of Ultimate Power) or 10 stat points of their choice.

Everyone knows that reading books helps with self-improvement. But not everyone knows that alcohol, drugs, and gambling also help with self-improvement.

Yes, Lock, I also think you should dance around him with a rattle.

In short, Revan, "We'll go north, we'll go north!". I don't think people will object to going north; going back west would be strange.
Okay, Ney?

Seliad leans against the door. Dillion and Tria do too.

So much hatred towards an honest, hardworking person.
